Decanted 3.5 hours. Last of six bottles and this one showed the best. Dense, balanced blackcurrant and earth with integrated oak, tannins, and acid. Great expression of To-Kalon vineyard.

Decanted and drank over three hours. Thick and full at first with beautiful cassis concentration, becoming silky by the end. These are always well made.

Monthly Men's Wine Dinner (Bottle and Bull, Kirkland, WA): The wonderful To-Kalon fruit won the night for this beautiful Oakville Cabernet. It showed full bodied yet silky, with bright sweet fruit and a long finish with a touch of dark chocolate. My #1 of 4 and the group's #1.

This had a touch of Brett that interfered with its development but it was still quite drinkable until about the three-hour mark.
